New Idea from Land Based Casino

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

While it may make sense for a land based casino to offer online casino games, due to American laws and other rules and regulations land based casinos have been known to stay away from the online casino industry until now.

While this is not directly linked to online casinos in anyway, one land based casino that will be opening in the next few months is currently offering players a chance to play some games that they will be offering at their land based casino on the web until the casino opens its doors. The games that they are offering are strictly play and there are no real funds involved at all.

Either way this is a great promotion tactic for the land based casino that will be opening in Michigan in just a bit longer. The marketing strategy that this casino is using will allow players that may in fact frequent the casino a chance to get a small taste of what will be offered.

Also while not by direct intention, the land based casino is advertising for online casinos all across the web because if the players enjoy the games that this casino offers than perhaps they will enjoy online casino play at various online casinos as well.

The casino will be called FireKeepers casino and will be offering free play on their website for a limited time. The casino hopes that this will make players interested and have them ready and willing to come check out the real thing when the doors open.

Players in the US aren’t Feeling the Love from Online Casinos

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

While online casinos do not get to choose who wins or loses at their online gambling websites, US players overall have reported less and less wins in recent times. Most likely a thing of coincidence but still leaving the US players wanting more or at least wanting to hear of a fellow American taking home a large jackpot from online casinos.

And while US players may feel that since many online casino players do not accept their transactions, this may actually be the reason for less wins in recent times. Statistically there are more players that play at online casinos from all over the world other than from the US and so since there are more players that are playing there will likely be more winners from these other places as well.

Online casinos powered by Vegas Technologies are currently one of the major companies that does allow and encourage US transactions. However, on the contrary there are many online casino software companies at this time that simply will not license an online casino that has recently or plans to process a transaction that is against the law in that particular country.

So if you are a US player looking for some action that results in a big winning jackpot and you may need to look just a little harder than before as online casinos are currently in fear of the law and are just waiting for the new laws to pass in favor of online casinos saturating the US markets once again.

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

Seeing the future would be great especially when it comes to lottery numbers and online casinos. One player at online casino Slotland.com has announced that she has done just that and urges everyone that she will be the next big winner of a progressive jackpot at this online casino.

The player that goes by the name of “ladyluck” told online casino representatives that she has had quite and intuitive dream and will be the lucky winner that is taking home the next big progressive jackpot from this online casino. She mentioned that she has had a vision in the form of a dream that was very clear and that detailed her win at the online casino on a particular progressive jackpot machine.

She says that everyone that is currently playing the game is simply making a subtle donation to her cause and there is simply no reason for them to be playing because she is certain that she will be the one that is taking home the winnings.

The online casino representatives did not make many comments to this regard. They said that they are happy that this player is so confident in their winning power but there are absolutely no guarantees that are being made in any way and she will have to play just like everyone else in order for a chance to win.
